It's Thursday, time for another quiz
See if you can guess the intended purpose of the following inventions

I scored a respectable 4/10, lets see if you're Barnes Wallis or Wilf Lunn.

Do I win some kind of invention guessing prize?

Wanderlust
Yes, you win the continuing admiration of everyone on here for guessing 9 correctly.

How the heck did you manage that?

Yeah...well...


I took it again, and got 8 the second time!

@PJM
The only one I got wrong was the eye massager one.

I have no idea how I did it. I guess I just have the brain of an invention guesser.

would have been five but my mouse clicking finger would not accept the pile cream applicator and clicked something else instead.
